2.5-Hour Wheel Throwing Pottery Class for Beginners: Discover the Art of Clay 🌱
Ready to get your hands dirty and dive into the world of pottery? Our 2.5-hour wheel-throwing class is perfect for absolute beginners eager to explore the art of ceramics. Whether you’re someone looking to try something new or simply curious about pottery, this hands-on experience will leave you inspired, covered in clay, and grinning from ear to ear!
What to Expect:
- Professional Guidance: Learn from instructors who are not just skilled potters but also passionate educators. They’ll guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you feel supported and inspired.
- Introduction to the Potter’s Wheel: Start with the basics: how to prepare and wedge your clay, center it on the wheel, and pull up the walls to create beautiful forms. It’s the foundation of every great piece!
- Hands-On Practice: After a detailed demonstration, it’s your turn to get creative. Sit down at your own dedicated potter’s wheel and try your hand at shaping a bowl, a small cylinder, or whatever inspires you. Don’t worry if it’s messy or wobbly—that’s all part of the fun and learning process!
- Tools & Techniques: Discover the variety of pottery tools we provide and learn how to use them. From rib tools to wire cutters, you’ll see how each one helps refine your work and bring your vision to life.
- Sustainability Focus: At 1020° Studio, we’re committed to eco-friendly practices. We encourage you to focus on the process rather than the end result, giving you the freedom to experiment and explore. Plus, unfired clay can be reused infinitely, making it a sustainable and forgiving material for creativity.

To reach the studio:
Taxi
Just ask a taxi to take you to “Asserssif, Aourir” where to souk of wednesday is (the studio is 100m before on the right). If driver says this is not souk day (Wednesday), just told him you know. Ask for return price in case you’d like to come back after the workshop! One way should be max 100dh from Taghazout, try your bargaining skill.
Informal taxi
From Aourir round about and all the way to the studio (~5km), there are shuttles that can take you to the studio. Stop an old car by pointing your index finger down 👇 and ask for “Asserssif”. If the driver says ok (because Aourir splits in 2 directions and some go the other way), hop in until the Asserssif café, the studio is 50m further on your right. A seat is 3dh. There are plenty, all day, in both ways.
Your own feet, bike, car

Not your most beautiful clothes even if we have very protective and blue aprons. Long nails and hand jewels will make your life terrible with clay,
